Candidates running against Giffords wanted more.
“I am shocked and disgusted that Rep. Grijalva would call for a boycott of our very own state, especially in these economic times,” Kelly said in a statement, calling on Giffords to “denounce this shameful rhetoric.”

“Gabrielle Giffords should denounce this extreme statement by the man who got her into office and built her political machine," Paton said in a statement Thursday. “We don't need to push more businesses out of the state with this kind of alarmist rhetoric about a bill most Arizonans support."

Grijalva's call for a boycott are another example of his warped view of the political landscape. Every law is not, as he imagines, an invitation to Hate Crimes. And threatening economic apocalypse as an elected representative is not an intelligent response. Grijalva is acting like a community organizer, not a representative of District 7. It's time for him to go back to the Barrio.

Just a concerned Arizonan

Who am I? Like yourself, I am a concerned citizen who is sick of elected officials who's only concern is their own political future. In 1994 I moved to southern Arizona to work and live because of the large number of jobs being created in this fabulous state. Like most Arizonans I value the freedom of economic opportunity that this state is known for and that has helped us to thrive. Unfortunately, many politicians, having passed themselves off as sharing these values, now promote a socialistic agenda, wanting to spend the wealth that Arizonan's create on large government and programs that stifle creativity and initiative. I wish to be a voice in opposition to these charlatans. Enjoy my blog.
